Original Poem
怒发冲冠，凭阑处、潇潇雨歇。
抬望眼、仰天长啸，壮怀激烈。
三十功名尘与土，八千里路云和月。
莫等闲、白了少年头，空悲切。
靖康耻，犹未雪。
臣子恨，何时灭。
驾长车踏破，贺兰山缺。
壮志饥餐胡虏肉，笑谈渴饮匈奴血。
待从头、收拾旧山河，朝天阙。

English Meaning
Hair bristling at the helmet, I lean on the railing as the driving rain ends. Eyes raised to heaven, a long roar — my chest fierce with resolve. Thirty years of merit: dust and dirt. Eight thousand li of road: clouds and moon. Do not idle until a young head turns white, and grieve in vain. The Jingkang shame is not yet avenged; when will the servant's grief die out? I will drive a long chariot through the gap of Helan Pass. Hunger, fierce: eat the barbarians' flesh; thirst, laughing: drink the Xiongnu blood. Then let me start anew, take back the old rivers and mountains, and pay homage at the palace gate.
